Need help finding SKS parts

[u/phoenixwarz]

Hello all, I should probably start with a little while ago I put a NCstar gas tube setup on there and it’s been a nightmare ever since (probably what I deserve for trying to bubba the thing) any time I fire it either doesn’t have enough strength to push the bolt back enough to full eject the round or the bolt stays and it needs a little tap to open and eject the casing. I’ve swapped gas tube with a buddies rifle and it cycles as it should, so I’m pretty confident from the small test and the couple reviews I’ve read lately that the ncstar tube is junk and I’m curious if anyone here knows a good solid place to find a new replacement gas tube or if anyone here is in Alberta and has one they can part with, thanks!

make sure the gas port is nice and clean,
brake or carb cleaner is great for this, you may need a drill bit

after cleaning spray the piston and tube with dry teflon
(I spray everything to prevent rust)

light oil on the sliding surfaces of the bolt
